After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiwei's heart was beating wildly, and it took a while for it to calm down. He knew very well what it meant to talk to Guo Peng. There were only two possibilities. Either Guo Peng was interrogated and left safely, or he was taken away with an uncertain future.
In the shortest amount of time, he carefully recalled the details of his interaction with Guo Jinzhu and simulated the conversation in his mind. However, he was still not sure and did not know what Guo Jinzhu was going to ask.
At times like this, he had to stay calm and keep a clear head. Lu Yiwei closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before he dialed Pan Chengjun's number.
"Yiwei, I was about to call you. Guo Yue came home this morning."
"Oh, did she ask for it, or …"
"Her mother came to pick her up early in the morning."
"She was alone?"
"There was also a man, who should be the driver. He left in a hurry before I could say anything. Is there anything wrong?"
Lu Yiwei was still uncertain and said, "Arrange for a reliable person to keep an eye on her. Be careful and don't expose yourself."
"Understood. I'll arrange it immediately."
Lu Yiwei let out a long sigh and said, "Old Pan, there's something I can only tell you now because you're the most reliable and reliable person. The people from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection have arrived in Long 'an, and I'm going to talk to them immediately. I don't know the content or the outcome of the conversation, but I'm sure it's related to Secretary Guo. "
Pan Chengjun was shocked and raised his voice, "No way. Is it serious?"
"I don't know, but there must be some connection. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come all the way here to talk to me. Long story short, if I'm fine, everything will be fine. But if something happens, don't act rashly and don't use your connections to get me. There might be a pair of eyes watching you in the dark. You might be exposed if you stand out. "
Pan Chengjun took a deep breath and asked nervously, "Then what should I do? What should I do? "
"Don't do anything. Someone will find a way. What you need to do is to protect the company and my family. "
Pan Chengjun was quite frightened by Lu Yiwei's words. He felt like there was a fishbone stuck in his throat. "Is it that serious? This is too …"
"Well, I have to go. Remember, don't tell anyone, not even Tong Huan. "
With that, he hung up the phone. Looking at the pure white snow outside the window, he straightened his clothes and strode out of the lounge. Shen Chenwei, who was sitting on the side, carefully looked at him, trying to capture the changes in his expression during the eight minutes he went in. Unfortunately, the other party's face was calm, and he couldn't even tell whether he was happy or angry. At such a young age, he was so shrewd and had hidden himself well.
Lu Yiwei calmly returned to his seat, crossed his arms, and said, "Then let's do as you say. When will Department Head Gong arrive? "
Shen Chenwei said, "I contacted them this morning. They said that they will be leaving from the city at 8: 30. They should have left by now."
Lu Yiwei looked at his watch and said, "It'll take about two hours. How about this, you go to the border to welcome them. I still have some other matters to attend to. If I can make it, I'll go. If not, I'll wait in the county."
"Okay."
"Go to the observation site now and carefully check it again. See if there's anything wrong and fix it as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll go now."
After Shen Chenwei left, Lu Yiwei leaned against the chair and closed his eyes in deep thought. Xu Changyuan knocked on the door and came in. Seeing his state, he carefully walked over and stood to the side, not daring to say a word.
Lu Yiwei opened his eyes and sat up. Xu Changyuan quickly handed the speech script in his hand to him and said, "Secretary Lu, this is Department Head Gong's speech at the research forum today. Please take a look."
Lu Yiwei took it and roughly looked through it, then handed it to him and said, "Bring it to the venue later. Is Department Head Jiang here?"
"Yes."
"Call him in."
After a while, Jiang Zhentao came in. Lu Yiwei saw that his expression was not right, but he didn't care and said, "Department Head Jiang, I've already arranged for Department Head Shen. Now go down and inspect again to see the situation. There can't be any mistakes. Also, inform Secretary Qiu to accompany him the whole time. "
"Oh, should I inform County Head Liu?"
"No need."
"Okay."
After Jiang Zhentao went out, Lu Yiwei stood up and said, "Changyuan, did you drive?"
Xu Changyuan quickly nodded and said, "Yes, downstairs."
"Oh, let's go out for a while."
Xu Changyuan was a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask. He quickly led the way downstairs, started the car, and drove Lu Yiwei away from the County party committee compound. He wanted to leave in a low profile, but after all, he was a public figure and would inevitably attract special attention. Seeing him leave in Xu Changyuan's car, he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
"Do you know the Friendship Hotel?"
Xu Changyuan nodded and said, "It's in Guandong Village, a very small hotel opened by the local residents."
"Oh, let's go there."
Ten minutes later, the car went into the alley and arrived at the Friendship Hotel. It was an ordinary three-storey house with the signboard 'Friendship Hotel' hanging on the door. After the baptism of time, the words had faded and the words were incomplete. The house was also a little shabby. Xu Changyuan couldn't help but admire the Commission for Discipline Inspection for choosing this place for a meeting. If he guessed correctly, they should have arrived in Long 'an yesterday and chose this place after looking around.
"You can go back first. I'll call you when I'm done."
Xu Changyuan became more curious. He didn't know why Xu Changyuan came here. Could it be that Xu Changyuan wants to meet someone? This indirectly showed that Xu Changyuan trusted Xu Changyuan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Xu Changyuan to send him over. "Do you want me to wait for you?"
"No need. Wait for the call."
After that, Xu Changyuan looked at the anti-theft window and pushed the door open.
The reception hall of the hotel was very small, at most a dozen square meters. Directly opposite the door was a small bar, next to it was a steep staircase, and on the left was a set of sofas with peeling paint. The walls were black and filled with a foul smell. A middle-aged woman with unkempt hair and a dirty face was standing at the bar counter. She was drowsily eating instant noodles. When she saw him, she casually said, "I'm looking for a room. Sorry, come back after midnight. This place has been booked."
Lu Yiwei ignored her and looked at the neatly dressed, fair-skinned young man sitting on the sofa. He was obviously not a local. He smiled, stood up and said, "You're here."
Lu Yiwei looked at him and nodded.
"Then let's go upstairs and talk."
